Bringing mental health support to where people live
Sarah Moir understands firsthand the barriers that make it difficult for people to access mental health services in inner city neighbourhoods like Gibson-Landsdale (GALA).
"I had some episodes in storefronts in this neighbourhood and it would have been really good for me if someone had basic training to know how to be helpful, not hurtful," said Moir.
Moir is now one of two Community Connectors trained by St. Joe's who are part of
a pilot project that brings mental health resources and support directly into the neighbourhood to better support community members who may be in distress or wanting mental health services.
